Some Challenges for eScience Liaison

Depression in general hospital inpatients: challenges for consultation-liaison psychiatry.

Dear Editor, Nearly one-fourth of medical and surgical inpatients in general hospitals match criteria for depressive disorders. The odds ratio for depression gets higher as the number of chronic diseases increases. Besides, such comorbidities aggravate one another. The Study of Brief Opportunity Intervention (EIBO, in the Portuguese acronym) performed a series of randomized clinical trials with...

Consultation/Liaison Psychiatry in Geriatrics: Overcoming Challenges and Finding Solutions

The consultation/liaison service provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the skills and knowledge base of psychiatrists. Clinical issues that arise at the interface of psychiatry, medicine, and surgery can prove challenging and often require a multimodal approach that involves pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. This article summarizes 5 cases from consultation services ...

Multi-Target Deployment for eScience Applications

Streamlined switching between computational resources in order to select the most suitable computational environment for application execution is a crucial component of cloud-like computing. However, heterogeneity obstructs multitarget deployment for complex and multi-dependency scientific and engineering codes and makes this goal intractable. In this paper, we describe a proposal for a metadep...

Some Examples of Gorenstein Liaison in Codimension Three

Gorenstein liaison seems to be the natural notion to generalize to higher codimension the well-known results about liaison o varieties of codimension 2 in projective space. In this paper we study points in P and cuves in P in an attempt to see how far typical codimension 2 results will extend. While the results are satisfactory for small degree, we find in each case examples where we cannot dec...
